Al Jazeera America’s new British-born boss, Al Anstey, is arriving in New York this weekend and is set to address the troops as he attempts to right a news organization that has veered off course.

Anstey, who set up Al Jazeera English back in 2005, is stepping in to help rebuild confidence within the fledging news network.

Anstey is replacing “interim” CEO Ehab Al Shihabi, whose two-year reign ended abruptly after he blasted the media for reporting on a former employee’s $15 million lawsuit against the company, describing news stories as “false and malicious.”

Our news biz tipsters say there’s a group who now wants to oust Al Jazeera President Kate O’Brian for not speaking up more to prevent the kind of sexist and anti-Semitic behavior alleged in the ex-employee’s lawsuit.

One insider tells On the Money, however, that these people are in the minority. “This is a small group with an agenda who now would like this to become the French Revolution. It’s all being spread by a small group of Marcy partisans.” Marcy is Marcy McGinnis, the former newsgathering chief who was moved to a figurehead role and quit, saying she no longer supported Al Jazeera management.

Can the Brit turn things around? It didn’t go so well for the last one who tried to right a TV news organization.
